To all whom it may concern Be it known that l, WILLmM R. Cnonn, aCitizen of the United lStates, residing,l et Legerwood, in the countyoi"- Mitchell and State of North Carolina, have invented certain new anduseful linin'ovcments in Jar Holders, ot which the following is aspeciiication.

In carrying out the present invention, it is my purpose to provide ehighly improved form of jor holder, that is adapted for rigidly holdingand the like in the :fipplication of the usual lids thereto forpreventing the burning of the hends when the jars are hot, and Ytorpreventing the slipping of the same within the hand in the applicationof the lids thereto.

A further purpose ot my invention is to provide jar holder that willembrace the desired features ot' simplicity, durability and etliciency,the same comprising relatively few parts, and these so correlated as toreduce the liability of deraingement to a minimum.

The naturc and advantages of the invention will be better understoodwhen the follo fino; detailed description is read in connection with theaccompanying drawing, the invention residing in the construction,combination, and arrangement of parts es claimed.

In the drawing forming` part of this ap` plication, like numerals ofreference indicate similar parts in the several views, and wherein:

Figure lis e side elevation of my improved jar holder, the seme beingshown in position upon e jar.

`Figure B-is u the gripping tion.

Referring to the drawingv in detail, my device comprises a disk or plete5 or reir.` tively small Idimensions to the marginal edge of which ispivotally secured at 6, the inwardly extending' ends Q7 oli L-shapedarms S. lziveted or otherwise suitably secured et 9, to the upper endsof these arms is steel bend l0, one end ot the seme being provided witha plurality oit oblong openings ll. The opposite end of this bend l0 issuitably secured at l2 to one end of one of e pair of crossed handles13, the adjacent end of the end of invenperspective of one band,comprisino this Figure 2-is a top plan view thereof, end

Serial No. 531,992.

other member oi this pair oi' crossed handles being; inwardly connectedle, and adapted for engagement with any of the seid openings ll in theend of the bund lO. rlhese crossed handles i8, are, oi coi'irse,pivotaliy secured together at l5, and in practice, e jar designated A inFigure l is positioned within the said bend it, legs S .and upon thedisk 5. Through an expansion of the handles l5, the hooked end of oneel? the members thereof may be engaged with one oll the said openings ilin the adjacent end oi the band l0, and by applyingv pressure to thesehandles, will of course be understood that the bend l0 will becontracted around the jar for rigidly holdingthe seme.

rlthongh l have herein shown and decribed the preferred embodiment ofthe present invention, it is nevertheless to be understood that morchanges may be made therein, without depuiting from the spirit und scopeoi the invention es claimed.

llaving thus described my invention, what l clnim us new, and desire tosecure by Letters-Patent is:

i jor holder including` a plate, a plurality of arms having' one endpivotally secured to seid plete und the other end 'formed with a lateralprojection, strip arranged in loop torni and secured to the 1free endsot said lateral extensions, one ond oit said strip being provided with apluralitj.v o openings, and a pair pirotally connected operating'members having the tree end oi one member pivotally connected to theother end of the strip, the corresponding' `tree end ol. the othermember being provided with a hook for engagement in the openings in theother end of said strip, whereby a jar may be positioned within the loop'formed by said strip to rest on said plete, the hook vtorn-led on oneot said members engaged in one of the openings or" seid strip with themembers at a substantiel enfle to one another, said members being sulsequently drawn toward each othe to bring the lateral projections intotight gripping relation with the jar and move the arms on their pivotsfor bringing;r them in close relation to the sides and bottom of the ierto hold said sides in proper position within the looped strip.
